Kevin Godbee's Review of Plum Pudding Bourbon Barrel Aged Tobacco

[admin]

It's not widely available yet, but Matt Guss, President of The Seattle Pipe Club, was kind enough to send me a tin to help get the word out. I haven't written a tobacco review since 2016, so I thought it would be fun. Plus, I love bourbon barrel aged stuff, and I love the original Plum Pudding.

Next week, we'll have our regular tobacco reviewer, Kyle Weiss, who has a much more refined palate than mine, give his take on it.

For now, here's my review:

Thanks for the review. Waiting for this blend is killing me.

I believe it is available at P&C.

I'm not much for Latakia blends but you made this one sound worth getting, Kevin

Just popped a tin of Potlatch which I've enjoyed a lot, and have Plum Pudding aging. This sounds excellent, so I'll keep it on my radar.

I just bought a few tins at P&C. I am a sucker for a potentially good Balkan.... It AIN'T cheap though....

Oh, and nice review Kevin!

It was the sole reason I just spent a hundred and fifty bucks at P&C.

Yes! Great review. I have just been smoking my last few bowls of Frog's Cellar (one of the first tins of tobacco I ever bought back in 2015), thoroghly enjoying them, and feeling a bit blue knowing they're truly the last... But frankly, this sounds better, and unlike FMC, it has oriental leaf which I greatly prefer to be included with my Latakia blends.

Hopefully it comes out soon!

Yeah, seems like a lot of the Sutliff made pressed blends have gotten a bit pricy. That said, they're doing some interesting things, so God bless 'em for trying to bring us some new stuff.

I'm a huge Plum Pudding fan. I will doubtless be ordering this new variant in the near future.

This one is already available on P&C. They are doing a Mississippi River rum barrel aged version as well. I have no seen that one on P&C yet.

So, if weight/pressure adds “age”, maybe I need to get a 100# wife!
Seems like Mr. Jeremy likes to mix up his messaging.

 

[gervais]

I have yet to try the original Plum Pudding. I gotta get on that!

 

[grumpyoltroll]

I will be interested to hear opinions on how much the time in the barrel affects the taste of the tobacco.

 

[soviettubes]

Cool. Look forward to trying this.
